BARELY MISSED BAYLOR. 14-13 MAID THROUGH THE SECOND QUARTER. HALL WAS HUGE ALONG THE SIDELINE. LOOK AT HALL GO, 49 YARDS. A GREAT RUN AFTER THE CATCH. YOU CAN MAKE IT 21-13 KNIGHTS AT THAT POINT IN THE SECOND QUARTER. BUT BAY LOHR COMES BACK. BAY LOR COMES BACK. JA KOBE GLENN RIGHT HERE. THE AEROBIC BASKET PLAY MAKES IT 21-THE ONE BUT IT'S THE BOARDLES TO HALL SHOW ONCE AGAIN. THIS TIME TO THE NEAR SIDELINE JOSH IS GOING TO MAKE A GREAT PLAY. THE SCORE PUT U.C.F. UP 28-20 AT THE HALF. IN THE THIRD QUARTER BAYLOR TIES THE GAME WHEN IT'S PETTY AGAIN KEEPING THE BALL ON THE OPTION. HE JUST MAKES IT LOOK EASY RIGHT HERE, DOESN'T NEED THE ACROBATS. 28-ALL. BUT U.C.F. NEVER TRAILED IN IN GAME. KNIGHTS REFUSED TO BACK DOWN. BOARDLES LEADS THE KNIGHTS DOWN FIELD. PERRY IN THE END ZONE. IT'S 35-28 GOING INTO THE FOURTH QUARTER.

THE PODIUM RIGHT NOW. WOW. AND, YOU KNOW, WE ARE DISAPPOINTED IN HOW WE PLAYED, ESPECIALLY OFFENSIVELY. THE DEFENSE GOT THREE TURNOVERS TONIGHT, WHICH IS IF YOU DON'T CAPITALIZE ON TURNOVERS WITNESS THIS IS KIND OF WHAT HAPPENED, AND SO, YOU KNOW, IT WAS -- IT'S HARD TO BE FROM A OFFENSIVE STANDPOINT ON THE OFFENSIVE SIDE KNOWING IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT DIFFERENT IF THINGS WOULD HAVE EXECUTED. LET'S SEE GO TO THE RISER. BRICE, AS COACH CAN WAS TALKING ABOUT YOU'RE GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE GUYS THAT'S BACK EX-NEXT YEAR. WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU? WHAT'S NEXT FOR THIS TEAM COMING BACK NEXT YEAR, NOT WINNING THIS GAME, NOT GETTING YOUR GOAL? WHAT'S AFTER THIS? WHAT DO YOU GUYS DO NEXT YEAR? LEARN FROM IT. YOU KNOW, GO BACK, WATCH TAPE, REGROUP. LIKE COACH SAID, THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST GROUPS OF SENIORS WE'VE HAD SO IT'S DISAPPOINTING, ESPECIALLY FOR MYSELF, TO KNOW THAT THINGS COULD HAVE GONE DIFFERENT TO SEND THEM OUT WITH A WIN, BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT'S COLLEGE FOOTBALL SO THERE'S GOING TO BE A NEW GROUP OF SENIORS NEXT YEAR. AS FOR MYSELF BEING A LEADER IN THAT GROUP, I GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COME BACK PREPARED AND READY TO GO. YOU KNOW, THIS IS AGAIN IT'S NOT GOING DO DEFINE WHAT THIS PROGRAM IS AND WHERE IT'S GOING. I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF POSITIVE STEPS BEING MADE IN THIS PROGRAM, AND SO IT'S MY JOB TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE THINGS HAPPEN. LIKE I SAID, WE'LL LEARN FROM IT. LET'S GO TO THE THIRD ROW ON THE AISLE. BRICE, YOU TALKED ABOUT NOT TAKING ADVANTAGE OF DEFENSIVE TURNOVERS. WHAT HAPPENED ON THE INTERCEPTION? WAS THAT A MISCOMMUNICATION OR WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT PLAY? HONESTLY, A LACK OF INSTITUTION ON MY PART. EXECUTION OF MY PART. SO 42-42 WAS THE FINAL SCORE, 52-42. THE BIGGEST UPSET IN B.C.S. HISTORY. THAT WAS BIG TONIGHT, RIGHT? [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] SO LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. I'M OUT OF HERE. THANKS FOR JOINING US. GO ON TO OUR WEBSITE IN THE MORNING SHOW. YOU'LL HEAR FROM GEORGE O'LEARY IN THE MORNING.
